    I've never heard so much daft, stereotypical, racist rubbish. You should all be ashamed.

    Though, I wouldn't expect anything more from a bunch of lazy Scottish/Irish CUKers and that one geezer from eastern europe.

    I worked for Hitachi for 10 years in the UK and the biggest problem in my opinion was the ideology of trying to treat everyone the same. There was no acknowledgement of professional standards and senior people were treated the same as shop floor operatives. It was always claimed that it was a single status company, which it clearly wasn't, as the higher up you went, the more benefits you enjoyed. Everyone was required to clock in, except the HR executive who didn't and who was British. It was claimed that rules, some unbelievably crass, were applied equally and without favour to all, except that this ideology didn't apply to the Japanese, nor the HR executive. So to me that was the greatest failing of the Japanese, they wouldn't abide by their own rules and in my opinion, this lack of integrity completely negated any abilities that they might have been praised for.

    I worked for a Japanese car part manufacturing company and went to Japan a few times.

    They often had initiatives to try and drive down waste and drive up productivity - one of the great ideas was to remove the safety gates from lifts used by FLT's to move parts around to reduce time - worked fine until someone tried to get into a lift four stories up - which was not there.

    The guy died.

    But apart from that which was clearly madness they are very industrious people.

    They may spend their hours correcting the locals in the UK, but in Japan they seem to get on with things pretty well.
    They were not correcting !!! they were copying, redoing things, pointless tasks repeating what was done... no one knew why they needed to do these pointless task, everyone knew it was just for the sake of spying for higher management...

    I haven't worked in Japan, and have no interest lol.

    I spoke to many who worked there, and the condition do not entice me.

While UK is arguing about not wanting immigrants - Germany imported 1 000 000 libyans in last 2 years. Because Germany needs immigrants to work the taxi and low income businesses .....
    Germany imported lots of people so that the few percent at the top could benefit from being able to pay lower wages whilst the average german on the street had to put up with unfettered immigration and the various social ills that brings.

    If you take GDP per capita, then those Germans are behind Luxembourg, Switzerland, Norway, Ireland, Iceland, USA, Denmark, Australia and quite a few other 'white' societies.

    I have been watching them - I would argue their social/cultural/economic is a level above UK ( UK is leader in politeness though )..

    Take number 1 ( by GDP )- the states - those murderous hypocritical bastards .. who is next China - say one thing wrong there and they would saudi arabia you right on the square... Who is next .. Japan - they work like insane and they are just too weird ....
    And who is next - GERMNAY - the best socially/economic white people country there is. A country of order and honor , resources , brain power .... they could employ you all... they need more people, they just need to expand ... it is natural for them.. So i am thinking those mother ****ers probably self confidence as high as ****
